John I'. Breen. republican candidate for
mayor and heal of the republican ticket,
dealt Without gloves with the leaders
of the democratic party lio spoke un
kindly of Mb record at the democratic
convention Friday night, when he ad
dressed the member of the Twelfth
Ward Republican club Saturday night at
the hall at Twenty-fourth and Amei
avenue.
"f take til In enthusiasm which prevails
to maan that the citlxena of Omaha, Ir
respective of party llnee, have arrived
at the ; Conclusion they want a change
In municipal government," said Mr.
Breen. V't doea not take a momentous
occasion Ilka the civil war to arouse men
to a desire' for good government, but
the time Is now come when Omaha will
Insist on having It
"The government of' the city l Just
what you make It by the character of
the men '.you elect every three yoara.
Three, yeara of broken promises are about
enough for the people to have to put up
with at one time and they are ready for
a change.
"The democrats have Just had a con
tention, at which the democratic press
ay there were 324 present. I will state
to S'ou as a mutter of confidence that I
have Veen holding a bigger democratic
convention than that right In my office,
both by personal appearance and by let
ter. There seems to be a tendency on
the part of the democrats to hold demo
cratic conventions in different places this
spring. This seems to be more of a cut
sens' movement against my opponent, but
there also aeumn to. be a unanimity of
republican feeling, ton.
ftespecta to Ik Dunn.
"lg J. Dunn said some most unkind
things about my record Friday night, If
1.1-4 speech reported rightly In the dem
t irntic organ." said Mr. Breen, who then
rend some of the extracts and showed
them up In their true light as he went
along.
"My worthy opponent also considered me
In his speech and avked where I was on
the 8 o'clock closing. Doea he dare tell
where he stands on the question? Does
he dare come out and aay he doea not
stand for law and order? His platform
fays he doea. If he Is elected mayor. Is
he not going to use his power for law
i :iforcement?"
Byron Burbank, Nelson Pratt and W. A.
l)e JJord, made short, pithy addresses.
Resolution of regret at the death of
Andrew Roscwnter were adopted by tho
e'ub.
Howell la Disappointed.
U. Beechcr Howell waa the only really
disappointed man at the meeting. He

speak at the club meeting, but announced
that after the club had adjourned the
meeting could resolve . itself Into a tax
payers' meeting and hear Mr. Howell if
the members present so desired. Nothing
more waa said about It and as soon as
Mr. Breen had finished his speech all
went home and left no one for Mr. Howell

"No putts shall be conceded."
This is the one marked and important
change In 8t. Andrews' rulea of golf, which
have been adopted for this year by the
Western Golf association. The practice of
conceding putts from two to four feet has
grown t such an extent that a player
who aaks his opponent to hole out hia ball
If It be two or three feet from the hole, la
looked upon as a disagreeable person to
play with. The lawmakers have changed
